The gearbox oil change is recommended every 40k miles and perhaps every 5 years if less mileage is done, but have you checked all vacuum pipes for damage, and the correct operation of the manifold flaps and bellows etc, it does sound much more like something like that, or even blocked fuel filter or dodgy fuel?
